Q: What exactly is the Jumpstart Challenge?

A: It’s a 5-week, self-paced prep experience designed to help pre-K and preschool teachers build a solid foundation for the school year—without the stress of the back to school blitz. Starting on July 1, 2025, you’ll get short, focused videos dripped weekly along with weekly workbooks, and over a dozen done-for-you resources that set your space (and mindset!) up for success.

Q: Do I have ongoing access to the resources?

A: Yes! You get access to all the content and resources during and after the challenge. This way you can relax and go at your own pace.

Q: What ages is this for?

A: The Jumpstart Challenge is made specifically for pre-K and preschool teachers working with 3–5 year olds. Whether you use Creative Curriculum, thematic units, or your own approach, this challenge is designed to support how you teach—not dictate what you teach.

Q: Is this a digital product or will I get something in the mail?

A: This is a digital product. You’ll get instant access to everything inside a private member portal—videos, PDFs, planning templates, and all done-for-you visuals included inside Dropbox. Nothing will be shipped.

Q: What if I don’t know what curriculum I’m using yet?

A: You’re covered either way! The challenge is curriculum-flexible and focuses on building strong routines, classroom flow, and family partnerships. But I also include BONUS access to the 2024 Jumpstart Challenge, which includes Creative Curriculum-specific trainings, resources and templates, if you do use it.

Q: Is this included if I’m a Pre-K Prep Club member?

A: Yes! If you're already a member of the Pre-K Prep Club, you get full access to the 2025 Jumpstart Challenge at no extra cost. Just log in to the member portal to start. Not a member yet? You can join for $7/month and get it all—plus over 185+ other resources and a supportive teacher bestie community.

Q: How much time will it take each weekly challenge?

A: Each weekly challenge is designed to take 30 minutes or less, and you can go completely at your own pace. Whether you tackle one task a day or binge it all on the weekend, you’ll make real progress without burnout.

Q: Do I need a lot of supplies or materials to participate?

A: Not at all. Most of the tools are print-and-go or editable, and you can use what you already have in your classroom. This challenge was built to be low-prep, high-impact.

Q: What if I don’t finish it all in 30 days?

A: You’ll have access to everything, even after the 30 days. Life happens—I’ve got your back. Come back to any of the materials whenever you need them.

Q: Is this only for classroom teachers?

A: Nope! While it’s designed with classroom teachers in mind, homeschoolers and program directors have also used the challenge to create intentional learning spaces and systems that support play-based learning at home or in larger centers.

Q: What if I’m still not sure it’s right for me?

A: If you’re feeling unsure, feel free to email me at cathy@madeforprek.com with any questions. I’ll be honest if it’s not the right fit—but after supporting 1400+ teachers through this challenge, I know it can make a huge difference in how you start your school year.
